Aphra Shemza

Totem Series

The Totem series uses traditional sculpting techniques, organic materials and technology; creating a balance between these conflicting entities. By using the word Totem, the artist creates a spiritual reference fusing the idea of a natural emblem with geometry and creating these monuments for our times. They serve to highlight our connection to one another, technology and the digital world that we find ourselves in today. Looking towards the future and what the possibilities of this hybrid nature could be.

Aphra Shemza is one of the founders of FLUX Events and is also a London based media artist working with abstraction, interactivity and light.

In the last couple of years she exhibited her work in the Shard with Louis Roederer Champagne, Winter Lights Festival, Canary Wharf and Xi’an Maker Faire with the British Council.
